for that if you want to make a social networking website for free than you can visit free host providers like koolserve or tyreus.com and you can go to softaculas and intal the scripts provided there just its over for more information visit to my site listed below.

Since you have to ask you don't.

For a basic social network site these are languages you need to know:

•php
•html
•css
•js

And you have to be able to create a MySQL database and be able to pay for a hosting provider, since hardly any of the free ones allow complex PHPs.

You don't have to do ANY of that. No languages. NOTHING. Check Ning.com

They host millions of social networks, with a COMPLETE set of social modules that a hamster could run. It's that simple. Nobody else comes close.

It's not free. Can you afford $2.95 per month? :-)

You did say small, and that plan is capped at 150 members. It can get pricey over 150 members, $24.95 per month to you, but that tends to be very large sites with either ads or a subscription price. If your site is tightly targeted and relevant, you can easily charge $2 a YEAR membership, which would cover the monthly fee for 151 members.

They have a free trial. Try it. You'll love it. Repeat, you don't need ANY programming skills at all. Just $2.95 per month.

Best of luck.

You use a service to build your site or install a script on your own server. I recommend SocialEngine or phpFox. They are both very popular scripts.
